Federal Fair Labor Standards Act
All contracts and subcontracts that result from this solicitation incorporate by reference the provisions of 29
CFR part 201, et seq, the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), with the same force and effect as if given
in full text. The FLSA sets minimum wage, overtime pay, recordkeeping, and child labor standards for full and
part-time workers.
The Contractor has full responsibility to monitor compliance to the referenced statute or regulation. The
Contractor must address any claims or disputes that arise from this requirement directly with the U.S.
Department of Labor - Wage and Hour Division.
Trade Restriction Certification
By submission of an offer, the Offeror certifies that with respect to this solicitation and any resultant contract,
the Offeror -
1) is not owned or controlled by one or more citizens of a foreign country included in the list of
countries that discriminate against U.S. firms as published by the Office of the United States
Trade Representative (USTR);
2) has not knowingly entered into any contract or subcontract for this project with a person that
is a citizen or national of a foreign country included on the list of countries that discriminate
against U.S. firms as published by the USTR; and
3) has not entered into any subcontract for any product to be used on the Federal project that
is produced in a foreign country included on the list of countries that discriminate against U.S.
firms published by the USTR.
This certification concerns a matter within the jurisdiction of an agency of the United States of America and
the making of a false, fictitious, or fraudulent certification may render the maker subject to prosecution under
Title 18 USC 1001.
The Offeror/Contractor must provide immediate written notice to the Owner if the Offeror/Contractor learns
that its certification or that of a subcontractor was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by
reason of changed circumstances. The Contractor must require subcontractors provide immediate written
notice to the Contractor if at any time it learns that its certification was erroneous by reason of changed
circumstances.
Unless the restrictions of this clause are waived by the Secretary of Transportation in accordance with 49
CFR 30.17, no contract shall be awarded to an Offeror or subcontractor:
1) who is owned or controlled by one or more citizens or nationals of a foreign country included
on the list of countries that discriminate against U.S. firms published by the USTR; or
2) whose subcontractors are owned or controlled by one or more citizens or nationals of a
foreign country on such USTR list; or
3) who incorporates in the public works project any product of a foreign country on such USTR
list.
Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system of records in order
to render, in good faith, the certification required by this provision. The knowledge and information of a
contractor is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary
course of business dealings.
The Offeror agrees that, if awarded a contract resulting from this solicitation, it will incorporate this provision
for certification without modification in all lower tier subcontracts. The Contractor may rely on the certification
of a prospective subcontractor that it is not a firm from a foreign country included on the list of countries that
discriminate against U.S. firms as published by USTR, unless the Offeror has knowledge that the certification
is erroneous.

This certification is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when making an award.
If it is later determined that the Contractor or subcontractor knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) may direct through the Owner cancellation of the contract or
subcontract for default at no cost to the Owner or the FAA.
